This weblog discusses the finer points of videogame character costumes.
Philosophy and rules:
1) The ideal costume looks cool, but also has a soul.
2) Overall aesthetics of the game also come into play.
3) A great costume can make a good game great or a bad game warrant a rental.
4) Unlockable outfits must be worth the trouble of obtaining it and playing through the game multiple times.
5) Cosplay is now in the mix!

Vegas Blades

It's official, I love Fallout New Vegas. Can't say for sure if it beats out Fallout 3 till I complete Vegas, but it's certainly heading in that direction. That's mostly thanks to the darker story and more interesting environments despite the wonky game engine.

I'm currently rolling with Boone and we look like a discount version of the Guardian Angels thanks to those matching red berets. Another ironic or sad aspect of the beret is that my character is named Cammy. Sorry I couldn't come up with something more clever at the time.

When I can't fire up a console, it's been Infinity Blade on both the iPad and iPhone 4 (universal apps ftw).

As soon as I'm done with New Vegas, it's straight to Undead Nightmare, then all the Mass Effect 2 DLC I never played. The last planned stop is Dragon Age Ultimate Edition (Origins + Awakenings + DLC) which should last for a damn long time. Probably will finish before Dragon Age 2 though.
